Introduction

RP‑L‑400 Thin Film Pressure Sensor is a 400mm long flexible force‑sensing strip designed for highly sensitive pressure detection across extended surfaces. Built with ultra‑thin film layers and nanometre pressure‑sensitive materials, this linear pressure sensing element converts applied force directly into resistance changes for simple analog measurement. The elongated sensing area enables distributed force detection along beds, footwear, seats, or structural surfaces where conventional point sensors fall short. Fast response performance supports both static load monitoring and dynamic pressure measurement, making this flexible pressure detection module suitable for interactive systems, medical monitoring solutions, and embedded electronics requiring compact, lightweight sensing components.


400mm Long Flexible Sensing Area

The extended 400mm sensing length allows pressure monitoring across a wide linear area rather than a single contact point. This long strip design supports applications such as bed occupancy detection, gait monitoring inside footwear, and distributed force sensing in robotics or furniture systems. The thin and bendable structure enables installation on curved or flexible surfaces without affecting performance, providing reliable pressure detection along mattresses, insoles, cushions, or structural edges.


High‑Speed Static and Dynamic Pressure Detection

The resistive pressure sensing structure responds rapidly to applied force with an activation time below 0.01 seconds and response time under 10ms. Such performance enables detection of both continuous loads and dynamic interactions up to 10Hz. Force intensity and frequency changes can therefore be recorded for behavioral analysis, smart interaction systems, or motion‑triggered electronics where real‑time pressure feedback is required.


Ultra‑Thin Film Structure with Nanometre Pressure Layer

The sensing strip is constructed from ultra‑thin films with conductive circuits and nanometre pressure‑sensitive layers laminated together using double‑sided adhesive. When external force is applied to the active region, conductive paths connect through the pressure layer, causing resistance to decrease as pressure increases. This thin‑film architecture delivers durability, flexibility, and long operational life exceeding one million actuations while maintaining stable electrical characteristics.
